New Vessel for the New Zealand Service.
The owners of the new steamer Arawa (the Shaw, Savill, and Albion
Company) yesterday entertained a party of between 50 and 60 gentlemen connected
with the New Zealand shipping trade at lunch on board that vessel. Mr Ritchie,
M.P., presided and after the usual loyal toasts proposed :Prosperity to the
Colony of New Zealand." Sir Francis Dillon Bell, K.C.M.G., Agent-General
for the Colony, responded to the toast and at the conclusion of his speech
proposed "The health of the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company."
"Good fortune to the steamer Arawa" was then proposed by Mr E. Montagu
Nelson, of Nelson Brothers (Limited), of London and Hawkes Bay, and responded to
by the commander, Captain Stewart.
The dimensions are 420ft by 46 ft by 32ft., and gross tonnage about 5,000. Her
hull is of steel and is constructed under special survey for the highest class
at Lloyd's. The vessel will be lighted throughout by the electric light. Her
guaranteed speed is 12½ knots, which is secured by tandem-triple expansion
four-cylinder engines with a working pressure of 160 lb. on the square inch. The
Arawa is in all respects elegantly fitted and contains every accommodation for
the comfort of her passengers. She leaves Gravesend for New Zealand to-morrow.
